About Me

Hello! My name is Anthony Kershner and I am from Buffalo, New York.  I am a sophomore at The University of Tampa and I am studying Communication and Public Relations. I am a hardworking individual who enjoys learning new things. Some of my favorite things to do include: going to the beach, taking long walks, exercising, and reading books. I have read each book in the Harry Potter series at least three times. My favorite sport is swimming. I lifeguard at a country club over the summer, which I thoroughly enjoy because I love working with children and being outdoors. I am excited to take Beginning Digital Arts because I don't have any experience working with programs such as Photoshop or Illustrator. I hope to understand more about how to navigate these programs. I also enjoy thinking creatively and hope to express that in the projects and work that I complete in this course.
